Bang for your Buck
Positives: For how spacious it is, it is very affordable. It's a 30-40minute walk to campus with enough nearby restaurants and coffee shops to walk to. It's more family friendly and a quieter neighborhood and helps you feel separated from school if that's what you seek. There are tennis courts, a swimming pool, grills, and a nice gym. There's also a small dog park and park for children. Parking is free as long as you don't pay for covered parking.
Negatives: It is a trek to get to campus, especially when buses are down or not consistent. Maintenance is responsive but not very helpful, I often need to ask them to come back since they didn't fix the thing I needed help with the first time. Walls are thin and toilets don't work that well. Just little quirks that show that these spaces were built to get people in quickly , not much for design.

Nice, quiet place to live
Really nice apartment with plenty of space. The facilities are nice and the maintenance is very quick. A bit outside of town but a nice area and close bus stops.

Nice place, close to bus stop
About a 30 minute walk from campus and there's a bus stop right outside the subdivision. There's also a shuttle if you feel like getting to campus quite early. I like the apartment, there's a clubhouse with meeting rooms, a gym, and free breakfast & coffee on weekdays, which are nice amenities.

Overall a great place to live
The apartment is spacious and the neighborhood is very family friendly. The place was a bit dated but mostly clean when we moved in. The biggest issue was mold in the bathroom that we had to address, and they were a little bit slow on maintenance requests but nothing too egregious.

Best place to live in Ann Arbor
I have lived in Ann Arbor and this is the best place I have lived. Many law students live here. It is a 10 min walk to the stadium and a 5 minute bus ride to the law school. Close to grocery stores (including Costco) by car. Also close to York and Black Diesel (my favorite coffee shops in town).

Lovely for older students with a long-term partner and for pet owners
My partner and I rent a townhome at Woodbury Gardens and absolutely love it. Maintenance is very responsive, the community is clean and well-kept, and best of all it’s quiet! My partner and I wanted to avoid complexes with a large undergrad population, rent somewhere pet-friendly, and that was within our budget. We pay the same amount at Woodbury for a 2 bedroom townhome than we would for a one bedroom apartment in a complex closer to the law school. It’s right on the bus line, and walkable to the Burns Park area which is lovely. Overall we really enjoy living here and our dog does too, since there’s a private dog park on the property!

Good but could be better
Woodbury is a convenient place to live with everything you need on site. I will say that the townhouses are built very "basic" and even in the "upgraded" ones they don't seem that upgraded. The rent is expensive for what you actually get.

Good place to live
Includes dog park that is rarely full in the morning (but fills up with doggies in the evening). About a 25-30 minute walk from the law school, but there is a bus stop right by the complex that also has a The Ride bus line to the law school. Area seems safe and lots of students live in the community. Property came clean and any work orders are addressed fast. Easy to communicate with the property oversight staff as you can just walk to the clubhouse during office hours. Walls in the apartment (at least at 1203 Astor Ave) seem thick enough, have not had any noise issues living on the basement level. Property is well maintained and great for walking dogs around or jogging. Property has a community pool and basic gym in the clubhouse building.
Only downside is if you do not have a car, there is no major grocery outlet within walking distance. The property does offer a shuttle service to the grocery store every week (or every other week).
If you get a referral from an existing resident, they will give some sort of discount BUT you must go out of your way to tell them you got that referral before (or right after, I think) you apply for the apartment. The application does not include somewhere to put the referral.

Good Value, but some things to be improved.
Woodbury is a great neighborhood for students with pets, a partner, and/or family. The apartments have great value given the amount of space you receive for what you pay. A downside which may be taken up with the local utility DTE, is the power seems to go out more frequently than other neighborhoods. I am able to take 4 different buses to get to Ross, in addition to free/cheap parking options.

Yost Reviews
I haven't had to go to school in person yet (due to the pandemic) - but once things are back in person, I would use the community shuttle to get to campus and possibly back depending on the time of day I head back. Otherwise, I would take the bus or walk. Walking takes about 30 min but the bus will cut down most of that since there is a city stop right at the entrance to Woodbury.
